The entire CD was my first attempt at a pre-arranged set made entirely in Ableton Live (every other set I've ever put online were live recordings of impromptu DJing.) The entire CD is completely mixed harmonically so hopefully it'll sound that much better to your ears! I will be using this mix as my "business card" for the next few months so let's see what happens and I'd love to hear what you think about it!

Ladies and Gents: Yelle

Yelle - Je Vuex Te Voir

Mmm.

Yes, anyways. Yelle (Myspace) has been tearing it up French style and while her album has been out for quite some time everywhere else in the planet, it's finally getting an American release on April 1st. She also has had her track "A Cause des Garçons" remixed by all sorts of folks (Riot In Belgium, Sta, Tepr). Speaking of Tepr...


Yelle - A Cause des Garçons (Tepr remix)

This song is a bit of a small history lesson too. First off, starting from recent history, this remix happens to be a lot of people's introduction to the (sigh) dance craze that is "Tecktonik." And the song itself is actually a cover of an older French song.



If you watch Yelle's original video for the song, you can see where they got the idea for all the imagery now. So, now you know. And you know me, if you're dancing, you might as well be learning something too!

And while we're at it, might as well mention that I've mashed up Yelle and one of my favorite Japanese house artists, Fredo!

Yelle - Ce Jeu
Yelle and Fredo - Ce Jeu Center (LOVE and BEATS mash up!)

DJ SETS for January and February!!!

As you know, I do DJ here and there. I try to release a small DJ set every month. So, to backtrack here are my sets for January and February!

01.28.08 Livemix
TRACKLIST:
01. Grand Popo Football Club - Each Finger Has An Attitude
02. Ursula 1000 - Kaboom (Red Foxxworth remix)
03. AC Slater - Banger
04. Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80s

It's a bit crazy and maybe not the cleanest mix ever but it felt like a natural mix and instead of trying to "redo" it and make it super clean, I figure I upload the version of it that came naturally. I think uploading the real version and not a clean "redo" is a lot better because it makes you feel like you were there when I thought of it, right?

Just dance if anything.

I apologize if some of the levels are not all perfect. At some point I didn't even notice that part of my cables got loose so the left/right channel out put on some of the tracks kind of got messed up so I had to convert the sound on this MP3 to mono. For what it's worth, it was a big mistake on my end. When I did my set up in Serato, the audio channels were fine. I must've moved my mixer during the set and knocked a cable loose. Won't happen again!!! Not as smooth as it could've been but definitely some good mixes in there, ideawise. So expect to hear some more of this when I try to do "polished" sets in the future!!!
